Is it safe to charge the Switch 1 with through USB?

The #Switch uses a standard USB-C port, but I remember it being finicky, at constant risk of getting damaged, when being charged with the wrong energy source. But would it be safe to plug it to a PC's USB port to charge?

Thanks in advance!

Yes. The issue was using an aftermarket dock to charge the switch with an aftermarket charger.
