The numbers I use for spacing and pressure for all of my keys, single
lever paddle, dual lever paddle and straight keys are as follows.
Contact spacing is adjusted with an automotive type or machinist type
feeler gauge to .005" or 0.13mm
The pressure to close the contact, measured at the tip
I initially had a similar problem - KXPD2 failing to key dahs
properly/reliably. The main reason was the contact spacing was too close. I
like a light touch and close spacing. I spent quite a bit of time adjusting the
pivot pin play using the small allen wrench provided. You want them tight
and made it operate too.
AFAIK there's nothing in software/firmware to allow that behavior to be set.

Just starting to use my KPXD2 paddles on my KX2. I have them set to Iambic B.
The left paddle will give only dits if pressed and held any length of time.
The right paddle when pressed will give either dahs or fits and dahs,
depending on length of press. I can do a R or K by pressing the right
