I needed to extend by about 2mm, so I inserted short terminal pins into 
the PCB and soldered the pot directly to them. It's as if the pot pins 
were 2mm longer - not enough to do any swap over.

Yes, I could - but I was looking for a solution that kept the Corsair 
front panel and functionality "untouched". It's looking like that might 
be impossible!
