Is Quickswitch bind useful?

If you are a sniper in CS2, the Quickswitch bind will come in handy for your survival. This bind will let you scope out in an instant and also let you move away from any potential bullet coming your way. Players often need to scope out after firing a shot of AWP to readjust their aim. Without this bind, the process might take more time if you choose to do it manually. So, for better aim readjustment and movement accuracy, using the Quickswitch command is highly recommended for snipers.
