I suggest you to check out this link:

Personally, I have Asus BT500 USB adapter, which is based on a
controller chip from Realtek and it works fine on Bookworm.
In my experience Bluetooth technology became barely usable with version
5.0+ (for many reasons, like stability, effective range, wifi
interference, etc), so my advice for you to avoid any Bluetooth ver4.0
and lower devices, both adapters and clients.
