How to play softly on a digital piano?
I find it very difficult to play really soft sounds because the keys are heavy. I could turn the volume down, but then it wouldn't replicate how loud a grand piano sounds like. I use Thomann DP-26.
Is there any technique to use on these "heavy" keys?

You will experience this difficulty in playing softly on any piano, whether it be a Steinway or any digital piano with weight sensitivity (granted, there are of course minute differences).
It just takes practice. A helpful technique I learned is to keep your fingers flat, such that your finger tips are making contact with the keys and not the tips of your fingers. I don't know why this helps, but it does in fact make playing softly easier.
If you want loud, depress the key fast. If you want soft, depress it slowly. Heavy keys should be EASIER to play softly, because they offer more resistence.
