CS2 Bind Jump to Mouse Wheel

In Counter-Strike 2, keybinding means setting up a specific key or mouse button to perform an action automatically. In this guide, you’ll learn what keybinding is, how it works, and how to create a simple telemetry script that you can bind to any key or mouse button.

What is a Alias?

An “alias” is a console command in CS2 (and all Source-engine games) that allows you to create a custom name for another command or a sequence of commands. It helps simplify complex scripts, create toggles, and manage advanced input behavior. It’s often used alongside bind to customize gameplay controls.

So — it’s not just a concept — it’s an actual command called alias, and its purpose is to define custom command names for use in binds, scripts, or chained actions.

Syntax for Alias command

				
					alias [alias_name] "[action]"

Where:

[alias_name] – The custom name you assign to the alias.
[action] – The command (or sequence of commands, separated by semicolons) that will be executed when the alias is called.

Example:
To create an alias that buys a rifle and full armor:

				
					alias "t_mode" "buy ak47; buy deagle"

Explonation:

When you type t_mode in the console, your character will purchase an AK-47 rifle and a Desert Eagle pistol.

Bind the Command to a Key

For ease of use, you can bind the t_mode alias to a key, for example the V key:

				
					alias "t_mode" "buy ak47; buy deagle"
bind "v" "t_mode"

Now, pressing V in-game will automatically buy the AK-47 and Desert Eagle.

Understanding Keyboard and Mouse Buttons

Before binding, you should know the exact names of keys and mouse buttons:

mouse1 – Left mouse button
mouse2 – Right mouse button
mouse3 – Middle mouse button (usually the mouse wheel button)
mwheelup – Scroll mouse wheel upwards
mwheeldown – Scroll mouse wheel downwards
space – Spacebar
Keyboard keys are usually named directly (‘a‘, ‘b‘, ‘c‘, ‘ctrl‘, ‘shift‘, etc).

How to Bind Mouse Wheel to Jump in Counter-Strike 2

Method #1: In-Game Console (manual)

Launch Counter-Strike 2.
Navigate to Settings > Game.
Set “Enable Developer Console” to “Yes“.
Open the console by pressing the ~ key (default).
Enter one or both of the following commands:

				
					bind "mwheelup" "+jump"
bind "mwheeldown" "+jump"

Press Enter after typing each command.
Close the console by pressing ~ again and test your binding in-game.

Method #2: Configuration File (manual)

Locate your CS2 configuration folder:

				
					..\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg\

Create a new text file in this folder. You can name this file using letters, numbers, dashes, underscores, or ampersands (e.g., my123.txt).
Add your desired binding(s) into this file, for example:

				
					bind "mwheelup" "+jump"
bind "mwheeldown" "+jump"

Change the file extension from .txt to .cfg. To see file extensions in Windows: Open Control Panel > File Explorer Options > View tab, and uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types“.
Example final filename: my123.cfg.
Launch Counter-Strike 2, open the console (~ key), and execute your config file by typing:

Close the console and test your bindings in-game.

Method #3: Configuration File (auto)

Follow the same steps as Method #2 but name the configuration file autoexec.cfg. This file automatically executes each time Counter-Strike 2 starts, ensuring your bindings are always active.

				
					+exec my123.cfg

Method #4: Autoexec Configuration File (auto)

Unbinding Keys

To remove a key binding, use the “unbind” command or delete the bind in cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg file.

				
					unbind mwheelup
unbind mwheeldown

Practical Tips

You don’t need to add the autoexec.cfg file to your Launch Options.
All your bindings are automatically saved to your configuration file located in the Steam folder: ..\userdata\Your_Steam_ID\730\local\cfg\cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg.
You can use the console command key_listboundkeys to display all current binds.

Now you’re ready to customize your jump bind and improve your gameplay in Counter-Strike 2!

Good luck and happy fragging!
