Can a Switch charger charge a Steam Deck?
Absolutely, a Switch charger can indeed charge a Steam Deck! Both devices use a USB-C port for charging. However, the charging speeds might differ because the devices have different power requirements. So, while it's handy in a pinch, for best results, you might want to stick to the charger that comes with your Steam Deck for the fastest charge.

Eh, sure it'll charge, but don't expect miracles. The Steam Deck is a bit more power-hungry compared to the Switch, so it's like feeding a lion with cat food. It works, but it's not ideal.
Been there, done that. Was traveling and forgot my Steam Deck charger but had my Switch charger. It saved my life during a layover! Sure, it's not as quick, but it definitely works.
Yes, but slow. Like, really slow. Imagine a snail. Now imagine a slower snail. That's your Steam Deck charging with a Switch charger.
