Some SDR hardware receivers or transceivers interface with SDR programs via USB to control frequency. An example is the Softrock Ensemble, which uses a Si570 chip to generate the local oscillator frequency. The Si570 is tuned via a USB connection which in turn is linked to a program like Rocky by a driver. The Softrock does not have CAT control, and Rocky will not send CAT commands. But for the KX3, none of this is relevant. No drivers are needed. It will be exactly like hooking up LP-Pan, which just needs a sound card and a serial connection.
