Akai MPD16 Confusion

I'm a bit confused as to if this supports velocity. Says
here that it does, but that seems a bit odd. I
thought the Akai controller didn't support velocity and
that's why everyone recommends the (more expensive) M-Audio
Triggerfinger over it.

Anyone with one care/who has used one care to clear this up?

I think it's velocity-sensitive, but I'm not sure. It seems
VERY odd that it's not.

Been reading a few reviews and it seems I got the wrong end
of the stick, "the sensitivity isn't quite what some might
expect it to be; it takes practice to get to used to hitting
the pads at the right velocity. However, the unit does have
a full-volume mode which I find myself frequently using."

I'd read a few other things to that effect too. I think it's
that a lot of people disable the velocity sensitivity
because it's not great and end up just using the "on or off"
full velocity mode.

Still, anyone got a triggerfinger?
