It is found to the left of the '1' key on most QWERTY keyboards. The tilde is on the same key, on some keyboards. Typing in the alt-key code for "²" (Alt+0178) will also open the console. If you find yourself unable to close it, try holding [shift] while pressing any of these buttons, or using the [Alt gr] key. The console is useable on the login screen. At the moment, the developer console can only be used with English keyboard layout (the extended version will not work), however you can open the console on non-English keyboards by using the on-screen keyboard program.
- The developer console allows the user to customize almost every aspect of the game. Developer consoles have been included in most PC video games as far back as "Doom", originally intended for developers to execute commands in an effort to debug a game. Instances where console use is not recommended usually include large quantities of graphics and rate settings usually found in commercial .cfg files that would be daunting to input by hand. The console is also used by server admins to moderate gameplay, such as muting, kicking, or banning players who disrupt gameplay, or arbitrarily.
- The Developer Console is a cheat found in several unfinished games. It consists of a text window where commands can be entered to achieve in-game effects. Deliverance and Beast Signer Alpha share a game engine and therefore have developer consoles with identical operation. The console can be opened and closed with the key combination Alt+C. It appears at the bottom of the screen as >_, where the arrow indicates the console's location, and the underscore is a placeholder that can be replaced with the command to be entered.

The Rise of Yalortism also has a developer console. This one is, however, permanently offscreen and can never be viewed. Its contents can be selected, and subsequently copied or replaced, by pressing Tab. Note that this may not work while the menu is open, and Tab has the additional effects of displaying sprite names and enabling/disabling menu access.
- The developer console allows the user to customize almost every aspect of the game. Developer consoles have been included in most PC video games as far back as "Doom", originally intended for developers to execute commands in an effort to debug a game. The console also allows a user to activate alternate cfg files in Counter Strike's case. For instance, a server admin could edit the server variables while in-game instead of editing a config file and restarting the game. Another example is changing various client (player) side variables, or convars. A player can change his crosshair size and color, weapon sway, various graphical options not found in the options menu, and to connect to or remotely control a specific server. The console is also used to stop, start, record, and stop recording demo files for later use. Instances where console use is not recommended usually include large quantities of graphics and rate settings usually found in commercial .cfg files that would be daunting to input by hand. However, server admins and people with a server's RCON (remote control) password are able to abuse the server side commands for their benefit or to the players' (currently in the server) chagrin, depending on the admin modification or use. The console is also used by server admins to moderate gameplay, such as muting, kicking, or banning players who disrupt gameplay, or arbitrarily. Note that not all commands can be used in multiplayer (such as godmode, noclip, notarget, give *)
