| Name | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| unbind | unbind [Key] | This command removes any bind bound to the specified key. |
| bind | bind [Bind Key] ['Bind Command'] | This command will bind a command, or list of commands, to a key on your keyboard or button on your mouse. Binds can make your CS:GO experience much more convenient, and is a very important command in the game. |
| bind_osx | bind_osx [Bind Key] ['Bind Command'] | This command will bind a command, or list of commands, to a key on your keyboard or button on your mouse. This command is for OSX (Mac). |
| key_listboundkeys | key_listboundkeys | This console command lists all of the keys and buttons you have that have a specific action bound to them (e.g. the space bar being bound to jump). |
| BindToggle | BindToggle [Bind Key] ['Bind Command'] | This command assigns a hotkey (key on your keyboard, or button on your mouse) to switch through the various values a specified console command has (when pressed or clicked). This is useful for setting up binds that toggle a certain feature. For example,'voice_enable' would be toggled between 0 and 1 (disabled and enabled). |
| +use | +use | This command will prompt you to perform the 'use' action on an item or object if its applicable. For example, this command will make you plant the bomb if you're on a bombsite carrying the bomb when you use it. It can also open doors if you're in front of one. It acts in a similar way to the E key on a default keyboard setup. Use the -use command afterwards, as otherwise you will not be able to use this command again. |
| -use | -use | If you have previously used the +use command, you must run this command after (to deactivate it), so that you can use the +use command again. |
| cl_scoreboard_mouse_enable_binding | cl_scoreboard_mouse_enable_binding [Bind Key] | This command allows you to change what key turns mouse selection on while you have the scoreboard open . This is defaulted to +attack2 (usually right-click), and is what lets you use your mouse to click on people's names when you toggle open the scoreboard. |
| invnext | invnext | This command switches to the next item in your inventory. If you have your rifle equipped it will swap to your pistol, and if you have your pistol equipped it will swap you to your knife. |
| invnextgrenade | invnextgrenade | This command switches what you have equipped to the next grenade in your inventory. That means if your rifle is drawn you will switch to a grenade, and then using the command again will cycle you through to the next available grenade on you. |
| invnextitem | invnextitem | This command switches to the next item in your inventory. This does not include guns, so will move between items such as your knife and grenades only. |
| invnextnongrenade | invnextnongrenade | This command equips the next item in your inventory that isn't a grenade. It also ignores knives, so will only switch between the guns you have in your inventory. |
| invprev | invprev | This command works backwards through your inventory, equipping you with the item that is the previous selection of what you currently have out. That means that using this command when you have your knife out equips your pistol, and using it with your pistol out equips your rifle (if you have one). |
| +showscores | +showscores | This command will make the in game scoreboard appear. Unlike holding TAB, it will stay on your screen without you needing to press anything. Disable it with the -showscores command. |
| +zoom | +zoom | This command will make make your AWP, or any other weapon with a scope (e.g. scout) scope in. The weapon will continue to be scoped in/out until the command -zoom is used.

| unbindall | unbindall | This command removes all binds from all keys. Note that this will remove binds from keys like W, A, S and D, so you won't be able to move until re-binding. |
| +alt1 | +alt1 | This command activates the ALT1 (left ALT) key on your keyboard (the same as holding down the ALT key). Use -alt1 to deactivate. |
| +alt2 | +alt2 | This command activates the ALT2 (right ALT) key on your keyboard (the same as holding down the ALT key). Use -alt2 to deactivate. |

Best Viewmodel Settings
The best viewmodel settings vary from person to person, but the general consensus is that the more 'out of the way' your viewmodel is the better. This is because the viewmodel will obstruct your view less, allowing for better visibility.
To set optimal, most out-of-the-way, viewmodel settings, copy and paste the below command into your developer console:
viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y -2; viewmodel_offset_z -2; viewmodel_fov 54Copy
We have outlined what each of these commands does below.
How to Change Viewmodel
Your viewmodel is your character's hands, the gun that you're holding, and anything else fixed in-front of the camera when in first-person mode. There are four commands commands that change the position of your viewmodel, they are outlined in the table below:
| Name | Min/Max | Description | Best Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| viewmodel_offset_x | -2.5 to 2.5 | Changes how far right or left your gun is | viewmodel_offset_x 2.5Copy |
| viewmodel_offset_y | -2 to 2 | Changes how close your gun is to your character | viewmodel_offset_y -2Copy |
| viewmodel_offset_z | -2 to 2 | Changes how far up or down your gun is | viewmodel_offset_z -2Copy |
| viewmodel_fov | 54 to 68 | Changes the field of view of your viewmodel | viewmodel_fov 54Copy |
To change your field of view to something other than our recommended settings outlined above, simply replace the number at the end of the command with a number between the command's 'Min/Max' from the table.
How to Move Viewmodel to Left or Right (cl_righthand)
By default, your gun is on the right hand side of your screen in CS:GO. For some players, especially those that are left handed, this may not be preferable. You can move the gun to the left hand side of your screen with the following command:
cl_righthand 0Copy
To move your gun to the right hand side of your screen, use the following console command:
cl_righthand 1Copy
How to Change Your Field of View (FOV) with Commands
There are two types of field of view: your viewmodel's FOV, which changes the position of your viewmodel (your hands and gun in first person mode) and your camera's FOV, which changes how zoomed in and out your camera is. Only your viewmodel's FOV can be changed in servers without cheats (matchmaking, etc). To change your camera's FOV, you need to be in a server with sv_cheats 1.
How to Change Viewmodel FOV
Csgo Right Hand
Your viewmodel's field of view in CS:GO can be set to a value between 54 and 68. To set it to 68, its maximum value, type the following command into the developer console:
viewmodel_fov 68Copy
To set your viewmodel's field of view to 54, which is its lowest possible value, use the following command:
viewmodel_fov 54Copy
Change 54 or 68 to your desired FOV (must be between 54 and 68), it might take some playing around with to get your most preferable field of view.
How to Change Camera FOV (sv_cheats)
Changing the field of view your camera has can only be done on a server with sv_cheats enabled. You can enable sv_cheats by typing the following command into the console:
sv_cheats 1Copy
After enabling sv_cheats, you can change your field of view by replacing NUMBER in the below command with the FOV you wish to set (default is 90):
fov_cs_debug NUMBERCopy
Since the default FOV for CS:GO is 90, the below command would make your field of view larger by setting it to 120 (meaning you can see more in your camera):
How To Use Left Hand In Csgo
fov_cs_debug 120Copy
And this command would make your FOV smaller by setting it to 50 (meaning you'd be able to see less than usually:
Csgo Viewmodel Left Hand Bind
fov_cs_debug 50Copy
