No. They won’t fit unless the Genesis in question isn’t a slim pad version. And if it isn’t a slim pad, I suggest two smooths, or one textured and one gray. ---

A rubber one of some kind. Cut both sides of a rubber o-ring down so it’s square-ish and then glue or silicone it into the response area. That would last quite a while most likely. ---

How long do kpads last? It already uses K-Pads, and they last perfectly long, and a nice long time, and also my favorite response system. I don’t know why you would want to change the response system. ---

Must not be very good at siliconing then. I do it and wait around 10 hours or so before I use it. Never had problems with it coming out. ---
