Is CS:GO compatible with controllers?

Yes, but it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. CS:GO technically supports controllers, but the precision required for competitive play makes a mouse and keyboard the go-to setup. You can absolutely plug in a controller and play, but be prepared for a challenging experience against players using mouse and keyboard setups.

Controller support? Technically, yes. CS:GO allows you to use a controller, but it's not optimal. The game's precision aiming and quick reflexes are better suited for a mouse and keyboard. Personal experience: tried a controller for a laugh, and it was a disaster. Stick to what works best if you're trying to play seriously.

Yes, it does, but why would you want to? Just use a mouse and keyboard, trust me.

Actually, CS:GO does support controllers, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're just looking to have some casual fun. The game is super competitive, and most players are on mouse and keyboard. So, if you're serious about climbing the ranks, stick to the classic setup.
