Hello @Sonic-Y3k, ASUS seem to have updated their CDN address to use HTTPS. To avoid a 404 when trying to download the driver from their website, can you use the new https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/USB-BT400/DR_USB_BT400_${pkgver}_Windows.zip link? Thank you for maintaining this package!

Thank you very much. This fixed the bluetooth on laptop Toshiba Satellite c40-c-10k running xfce4.

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 105b:e065 Foxconn International, Inc. BCM43142A0 Bluetooth module The VID is 105b and PID e065. I'm glad to this package support it, but when I reload btusb moudle, kernel cant find firmware brcm/BCM.hcd. I move brcm/BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd to brcm/BCM.hcd, then it works. There is my patch.

Used to work before updating to 4.15

Edit: The error above was on a DELL XPS 9550. After updating bios to the latest version - 1.6.1, everything works

Still have the same problem with broadcom adapter. But Orico BTA-403 works very well. Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

@OdinEidolon apparently BCM20703A1 requires a different name for it's firmware. If you install the updated version, everything should work just fine.
