Is it ok to leave usb plugged in all the time?

Aside from drawing power, a USB cable is usually safe to leave plugged in. This is not likely to cause equipment damage. USB sockets are also extremely safe to use unless they are of poor quality. A cheap outlet, just like any electrical outlet, can overheat; at the very least, it can take longer to charge devices.

Can i leave my switch docked all the time?
The Nintendo Switch console can be left in the dock while not in use to ensure that it is fully charged. If you put the console in the dock or plug in the AC Adapter directly to charge before the battery is completely spent, it will only count as a partial charging cycle.

Should i leave my laptop plugged in?
Keeping a laptop battery at a partially charged level for as much of its lifespan as possible will help the battery last longer. Whether your laptop is plugged in or using battery power can also impact the environment. This largely depends on the time of day when your laptop is plugged into an outlet.

Is it ok to leave pc plugged in overnight?
Depends on the computer. If it is a laptop I wouldn't leave it plugged in, unless you want to ruin the battery. If it was a desktop then sure, but I would recommend having surge protector even a battery backup with surge protector as well (even for laptops) so that way you wouldn't risk frying or bricking them.

Should i leave my xbox controller plugged in?
The controller can be plugged in indefinitely if you prefer to play with a wired connection. This won't affect your battery even if it's at 100%. We recommend charging your controller from an Xbox console or PC only.
