Character is slower on the ground

Hello everyone,
I'm currently developing a simple 2D Platformer. It contains:

• Player
• Ground Hitbox
• Assets for Player and Ground

I set the player Movement speed with GetAxis and AddForce and It works well. The problem is, that once I jump and move the character is moving faster then when just running on the ground. There is a certain drag / friction on the ground which makes it harder to move.

My goal is to make the caracter move at the same speed when running on the ground as it is when running while in the air. Also I want to keep friction on the ground so that the players slowly stops moving on its own when the player doesn't input any movement.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Does the ground have a physics material? Does that material have friction?

 

I added Friction with the value 0.1 to the ground. This makes the character stop when the player doesn't input movement but also means that the character is slower on the ground than jumping + moving, which is behavior I don't want.

Well if you need non-physics movement, then maybe set the velocity directly? Instead of allowing physics system to do its thing.

Or like already mentioned by @adehm, are you using friction? You could remove the friction. You can also stop the character by modifying its velocity when there is no input.
