Absolutely, you can use the Steam Deck charger for your Switch! Both devices use USB-C for charging, making the Steam Deck charger compatible with the Switch. Just make sure the power output matches what your Switch can handle to avoid any charging issues. I've been charging my Switch with my Steam Deck charger for months now with zero problems.

Honestly, it's not the best idea. The chargers might be technically compatible, but using chargers interchangeably between devices isn't something I'd recommend. Different devices have different power needs and using the wrong charger could potentially harm your battery over time. Stick to the charger designed for your device to be safe.
