How to Bind in CSGO
For you to do Counter-Strike binding, you will use console commands. CS2 has a developer console, where you can input your commands into the game. You can also change several settings into new settings that match your preferences. To open your developer console, you have to press the tilde (~) button. You may have to turn the developer console on in your game settings if pressing the ~ button does not work. You can do this by following this process:
- Open Settings and go to Game Settings.
- Enable Developer Console by selecting Yes beside it.
- Press the ~ button in the game again.
This process activates your developer console and means you are ready to bind multiple keys to one command CS2 using CS2 binds. Here is how to set a keybind in CSGO:
