Yep, you can charge a Steam Deck with pretty much any USB-C charger, but there's a catch. The speed at which it charges can vary a lot based on the charger's power output. Steam Deck's official charger is designed for optimal charging speed, so while your phone's USB-C charger might work, it might not juice up your Deck as fast.

Absolutely not a fan of using any charger. Stick to the official Steam Deck charger or certified ones. Less headache and ensures your device is getting the right power without risking damage.

I've been charging my Steam Deck with a generic USB-C charger and it's been fine. Just make sure it's a decent quality one and you're good to go. Haven't noticed any issues or slower charging times personally.
