Unfortunately, Valorant doesn't natively support controller gameplay as it's designed for keyboard and mouse. However, if you're really set on using a controller, you can use third-party software like reWASD or JoyToKey to map controller buttons to keyboard and mouse commands. Just be aware, this won't be as seamless as playing games with native controller support, and it might put you at a bit of a disadvantage against mouse and keyboard players.
As someone who's tried Valorant with a controller using reWASD, I can tell you it's doable but tough. You can map the controls, but reaction times and precision aiming are on a whole different level with a mouse and keyboard. It's fun for casual play but competitive might be a stretch.
Mainstream opinion: Keyboard and mouse rule Valorant. Hot take: with enough practice, a controller player could definitely give 'em a run for their money. Just use mapping software and get ready for a challenge.
