Alright, jumping straight into it, using a controller in CS:GO might not be the mainstream choice, but it's totally doable! First off, you'll want to make sure your controller is hooked up to your PC - most controllers connect via USB or Bluetooth. Once connected, CS:GO should recognize it, but you may need to dive into the game's settings to ensure everything's set up correctly. You can customize your button layout directly in CS:GO's settings under the 'Controller' tab. Keep in mind, though, you'll be playing against folks with mouse and keyboard, which is often considered more precise. So, brace yourself for a challenge!

Nah, why would you? Using a controller in CS:GO is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Seriously, stick to mouse and keyboard for competitive play. Unless you're just chilling and want a more laid-back experience, then go ahead, plug in your controller and have fun in casual modes!

Been there, done that! Used my Xbox controller on CS:GO and it was an experience, to say the least. Easy to set up - just plugged it in and was good to go after some button remapping. Sure, it's a handicap in competitive matches, but for kicking back in casual games? Absolutely fun times. Plus, it's a nice way to train your game sense without worrying too much about aim.
