What Is the NUMPAD and Why Use It in CS2
NUMPAD is the block of numeric keys located on the right side of a full-size keyboard. In Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), these keys are not assigned by default, so you can freely use them for binds – mapping console commands to keys. This frees up your primary buttons and gives you quick access to useful actions without distracting you from the game.
