This just seems odd to me. I know it’s a competitive game, and most folks will be playing with a mouse and keyboard, but it feels weird for Valve to put out a brand new game (built from scratch, at that) and not plan for this.

I got it working on my tv, sound works just had to change it from default to HDMI 2 which is where it's going on my tv.
I'm using the steam controller and it works fine.
When I launched it, it was very slow. But I stuck with it for a bit and it picked up and became smooth enough to play. I don't know the exact fps but I won a bot match and for me that's actually pretty good 😂.
I think there might have been a sneaky steamdeck update. I'm playing on stable and cs2 2000142/13948
Playing on high graphics.
I wonder if it was prepping the shaders, hence the initial slowness.
I very much think that's the case. Will probably happen for every new level. I did have a bit of a hiccup sometimes but I think it'll be ironed out
