    At first I thought you would say "press 'Full Level' and then you don't have to hit so hard'. Because that's what I've done, essentially turning off velocity. But when you'd held it for five seconds I was blown away!

    if you have a mpk mini 2 and youre using fl studio and want to fix the velocity, go to MIDI options, click on the line next to "link velocity on note to" and change the velocity curve by dragging the center dot up to make the graph curved.
    can also set velocity to none if you dont care about dynamic range.
