I've got in my hands some new Mark2 and Mark2A knobs courtesy of The Lord.

They appear to have the same pinouts, the only difference is that the 2A knob is through-hole instead of surface-mount. It looks like I could, if I was careful, bend and trim the 2A pins so that I could solder them to my Mk2 surface mount pads, effectively upgrading my knob in the process.

The reason I want to try this is that the 2A knob has a slightly different "feel" to it, and it clicks a bit differently. I think I like it better and I am curious to try it.

So my question is... if I wanted to pioneer this procedure... Would the signals from the 2A knob be the same as the 2 knob, as far as the player hardware, PIC firmware, and software are concerned? Should it "just work" as a solder-in replacement?
