The console has been very important for Counter-Strike players throughout the history of the shooter. It's more familiar and convenient to set up the game with it.

How to open the console in CS2?

By default, the console will open when pressing the “~” key, which is located above “Tab”. To assign a different button, go to the game settings, go to the “Keyboard and Mouse” tab and scroll to the “Open/close console” parameter.

In CS2 there's a peculiar feature: if you assigned the opening of the console to a letter or symbol from the English layout, then in the game it will open only if the English layout is turned on (the same goes for other languages). So, if the console doesn't open, simply change the language.
