To switch hands in CS2, you'll need to enable the developer console and use a specific command. Here's how to do it properly:

Enable Developer Console

1. Launch CS2
2. Go to Game Settings
3. Find "Enable Developer Console" and set it to "Yes"
4. Press the tilde key (~) to open the console

Bind Hand Switch Command

Open the console and enter:

bind "key" "toggle cl_righthand 0 1"

Replace "key" with your preferred key (example:

bind "F" "toggle cl_righthand 0 1"

)

Using the Hand Switch

• Press your bound key to instantly switch between left and right hand
• Default key is "Q" if not changed
• Weapon position changes immediately upon pressing the key

Choosing the Best Hand Position

The optimal hand position depends on:

• Your dominant eye (right-eye dominant players may prefer left-handed view)
• Personal peeking preferences
• Crosshair placement style
• Individual comfort and gameplay habits

Tactical Benefits

• Better visibility when peeking corners
• Improved peripheral vision based on dominant eye
• Enhanced situational awareness
• Faster reaction times in specific scenarios

Experiment with both positions to find what works best for your playstyle. The ability to switch hands quickly can provide a significant tactical advantage in competitive play.
