LOL, no one answered the ops original question.
Yes, regular USB PC HIDs (human interface devices) work instantly on PS3.
Even 10 buck keyboards and mice.
However, CCPs abovementioned artificially implemented limitations lessen the mouse usability a lot. This can be mostly, but not entirely, negated by a mouse with adjustable acceleration+speed or DPI.
Any device which camouflages (eagle eye etc) the MKB input into pad (controller) input has a HUGE potential for winner's choice. Reader's can figure the reason by reading further...
The Barracuda "mouse+nuchuck" item seems nice but in reality is terrible, at least I couldn't set it up so.
Now some important comments:
- Controller inputs have AA (Auto Ai... Erm, Aim Assist).
- Any mouse input apparently disables AA for some time period so mouse users have no AA.
- Chances are keyboard inputs won't disable AA but I'm not sure
- 360' scannerina scans are still possible on adjustable mice
- Some things are utterly undoable/unplayable on MKB: Dropships, choosing your spawn location on map screen(!) etc
- Dust accepts all HIDs simultaneously so going hybrid is possible. However there might be a slight pause in changing from mouse to pad.
- Hybrid controls are viable in some cases. However, it may be that some button functions become hard to reach, depending if you use pad+mouse or keyboard+pad.
- Chances are accomodating to dust MKB takes a lot of effort and any persons kdr will drop during that time, a lot.
As a rough generalisation, controller has advantage over MKB.
Reasons in the followin posts.

My Background:
- First six months of dust I played with pad (DS3) until Autumn 2012 when MKB came along.
- After that I did full MKB, then 50-50 hybrid, and finally hybrid which is mostly MKB (80%).
- On Autumn 2013 the Aim Assist (AA) was introduced.
Some personal experiences: (may vary from person to other that means!)
* Before AA: I'd say that as a MKB user I had slight advantage over pad users
* After AA: I am at serious disadvantage and short to mid ranges, while retaining some advantages elsewhere (look previous post)
* AA is very strong, especially with semi-auto weapons as they seem to calculate hits differently

Chart on which one is better in Dust 514:
DS3 (pad, controller) >>> Mouse+keyboard
- Combat at ranges: very short to mid range (2m to 20m which is 4 to 40 Dust in game meters)
- Dropship controls
- Map control (especially choosing where you want to spawn)
Mouse+keyboard >>> DS3 (pad, controller)
- Combat at ranges: Mid long and over ( over 25m which is over 50 dust in game meters)
- Sniping and forge gunning
- Tanking, especially missile and rail
Balanced or no clear advantage for either:
- Real CQC meaning knifing distance or the length of the barrel (1m)
- LAV controls
- Small turrets: both have annoying weaknesses

I bet the list is redundant as almost everything works.
Curiously, there are some with bugs reported by a person.
