Yeah, you can totally use a controller on CS:GO. Valve's game supports gamepad input, so just plug in your controller and you're good to go. Keep in mind though, you might find yourself at a bit of a disadvantage against mouse-and-keyboard players cause of the precision they offer. But hey, if you're more comfortable with a controller, you do you!

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, but why would you? CS:GO's gameplay heavily favors precision aiming that's best achieved with a mouse. Using a controller is technically possible but it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Totally works! I've been using a controller in CS:GO for couch gaming sessions. Sure, it's not the competitive standard, but for casual play? Absolutely fun. It's all about enjoying the game your way.
