I tried CS2 on my Deck after the update. I only tried against bots on Italy but found that given the hardware, it ran surprisingly OK. 40 FPS with default settings. Obviously the controls are not so great. I've read somewhere later that resetting Steam Input for this game to defaults is required but didn't know that at the time.

Btw I played with the Deck on a stand and my left hand on the controller part while my right hand held a Bluetooth mouse.

Is that... comfortable? That sounds like a really awkward way to play. Any reason you didn't do all in on the controller or keyboard+mouse?

It was kinda OK. It actually had the benefit of analog movement as compared to WASD. Biggest downside was the small screen.

The game did not seem to work with controller only and forced me to use the trackpads and I cannot play FPS games with just a controller anyway. As for why no keyboard, the answer is simple: I was too lazy to get up and get my BT keyboard and my USB C dock (all my Deck accessories are stored in a dedicated bag).

Is anyone else having issues with the game not allowing you to use any input except the left stick

I can't imagine trying to play CS on the sticks, and apparently Valve's QA team couldn't either.

It's the new PRO Gamer mode.

It runs surprisingly well hooked up to a monitor using keyboard and mouse. It's not beautiful or high FPS z but it's playable. Only issue I am facing is that I don't see fog or fire unless I am standing inside. I can just see through it.

You can just see through the smoke grenades? That's wild.

Can agree to this, I've tried to play but it plays at like 30fps and the controls are all messed up all the menu based stuff is gone it's actually awful.
