Q: Can Counter-Strike 2 be played using a controller?

A: Yes, you can play Counter-Strike 2 using a controller. Both Xbox game pads and PS5 DualSense controllers are compatible with the game, allowing you to play like normal.

Q: Are there any challenges or inconsistencies faced while using a controller for Counter-Strike 2?

A: While it's possible to use a controller, playing Counter-Strike 2 this way might present some inconsistencies, making it less than ideal. The menus still require a mouse, and navigating with an analog stick can be cumbersome. Additionally, the game displays mouse and keyboard bindings instead of the corresponding controller buttons, leading to potential confusion with some of the bindings.

Q: Has Valve indicated any plans to enhance controller support for Counter-Strike 2?

A: It remains unclear whether Valve plans to enhance controller support for Counter-Strike 2. The studio has not released any games on consoles since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in 2012, which had more robust controller support. Given the precedent set by Global Offensive, it's possible that improved controller support might be introduced in the future, but there has been no official confirmation from Valve.
