So, you wanna dive into CS:GO with a controller, huh? First off, make sure your controller is plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. Then, fire up Steam, go to 'Big Picture Mode' > 'Settings' > 'Controller Settings' and make sure your controller type is ticked. Launch CS:GO, open the console with `~`, and type `exec controller.360.cfg` to use the default controller config. You might need to tweak some settings in-game to get it feeling just right for you. It's a bit unconventional for CS:GO, but hey, you do you!

Honestly, just don't. Playing CS:GO with a controller puts you at a MASSIVE disadvantage compared to mouse and keyboard warriors. It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. But if you're just playing for fun, follow the steps in the other answer.

I played CS:GO with a controller once. It's not the competitive norm, but with some adjustments, it felt okay for casual play. Just make sure to tweak sensitivity settings to find what's comfortable for you. Definitely an interesting way to experience the game!
