Does a Switch Charger Work on a Steam Deck?
Nope, a Switch charger won't work on a Steam Deck. The Steam Deck uses a USB-C charge port, but it requires a power delivery (PD) protocol that can handle higher wattage for efficient charging. The Switch's charger doesn't support the same power profile, so you'd need a charger that meets the Steam Deck's requirements for the best experience.

Don't even bother using a Switch charger on a Steam Deck. Just get the correct charger and save yourself the headache.
Actually, you CAN use a Switch charger on a Steam Deck, but it's not ideal. It'll charge the device, especially if you're in a pinch, but due to different power delivery requirements, it won't charge as fast or as efficiently as the charger specifically designed for the Steam Deck. So yeah, it works, but it's kinda like putting regular gas in a sports car - not optimal.
