Comment on How to have separate controller layouts for each game in Heroic game launcher?

How are you launching the games, through Heroic? You could create multiple shortcuts to Heroic as non-steam games, one for each game you want; this is what I do for GeForce Now. Then use a decky plugin to change the cover / etc on the menu so that you have different icons for each game.
Also, if you look up the ID of a game on SteamDB, you can set the name of your “Non-Steam game” shortcut to that (e.g. 3792227499) and when you open it you’ll get access to all the custom gamepad layouts people have made for that game. They’ll stop showing up once you revert the name to something more readable, but this will give you temporary access to set one.
Sorry if this is not very clear, my brain is working at half power right now and I feel this message came out a right mess. I hope it’s a helpful mess though!

Heroic lets you add games individually with the correct name and covers to Steam. No need for workarounds. And you don’t need IDs. Using the same name as used on Steam is enough. Even non-Steam games like Diablo have community layouts.

I don’t use Heroic that much so I might be misunderstanding things, but isn’t that exactly what the OP has said wants to avoid?

Well I wanted to avoid adding them as non-steam games if it meant losing the achievements but apparently (according to Bjoern), it wouldn’t be the case
