I bought a BT keyboard and a BT mouse earlier today, and I'm quite impressed with the new update. Granted, I've only been in Build/Buy mode so far, but I'm thrilled to be able to tilt the camera like on PC.
I also answered my own question earlier in this thread. The keyboard does not require a dongle, but the mouse might depending on the model. Both work fine.
You can get wireless combos with both the mouse and keyboard. It comes with the dongle. Some of them are as cheap as $20.

I didn't want cheap. The keyboard and mouse I picked up separately work with multiple connections. For the mouse, it's not a big deal. The keyboard lets me Sim, text on my phone, or type on my tablet by turning a knob to which connection I want active. I found it at Best Buy for about $35 and I love it.

Did anybody notice that under mouse and keyboard mode, the blue loading bar on ps4 disappears?? What does it mean? Does it mean shorter loading time? I haven’t measured with a stopwatch but is it really the case, or is it just that without the loading bar, we “feel like” it’s shorter?
As of controls, I find that I prefer a controller for live mode, and mouse and keyboard for build mode.

No I'm getting longer loading probably because of the update and Spa Day.but then again I dont have a pro yet.

I am on a regular ps4 too. I feel like when using mouse and keyboard, the loading time is shorter. It could just be my imagination though.
Alright so I just tried to connect a keyboard and mouse to my Xbox. The keyboard works just fine but for whatever reason, the Xbox is not recognizing the mouse.
ETA: Looks like switching to a different mouse worked.

Bummer to see that the patch for consoles today has yet to fix the edge scrolling issues. Really may just ask Sony for a refund on the game and all the packs I've bought. Gameplay is really terrible without edge scrolling imo. @SimGuruJoystick do you have any update for this issue for consoles yet??

I’m sorry to hear that, I’m surprised it’s not working for you as they claimed it’s fixed in the patch notes. Mine is now fine and it finally recognises my wired mouse again as the last patch broke it.

It seemed that uninstalling then reinstalling fixed the issue finally.
I'm curious about how the keyboard and mouse setup "works" for console if you're playing in the living room like I do. When I play Xbox, I sit in my recliner. Is everyone just setting at a desk when using the keyboard and mouse?

It's best if you have a desk. Amazon sells some bed tables you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse on.
