It's a Laird BT851, and there are several places to order them from. Digi-Key has about 1500 of them in stock right now, for $10.99 USD each for the minimum quantity of one. Bluetooth 5.0, firmware built-in, natively supported by btusb, as well as Windows, and macOS Catalina, if that matters to anyone for alternate uses. When mine arrives on the 15th or so, I can let anyone know of how it functions, whether well or poorly. > Cheers, > Martin. >
