Does any USB-C work for switches?

You can use many USB-C cables with a Nintendo Switch for charging or accessories, but not just any cable; it must be a quality, reliable USB-C to USB-C cable (for console charging/docking) or USB-A to USB-C (for basic charging from a PC/power bank), ideally from reputable brands, to avoid damage, slow charging, or compatibility issues, especially with the Switch Dock or the newer Switch 2**, which is pickier about power negotiation.
