Thanks, Kypher that's pretty much what I wanted to know however; what is the part number of the IR one? That one is what interest me the most or maybe both.

Ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/order-history?ref_=nav_orders_first

Unfortunately that link asks for a login

The Pentax part number is O-RC1 for the Waterproof Remote Control … which are, unfortunately, both expensive and sealed, needing to be returned to a "service centre" to have the battery replaced (I believe it's soldered in!)

There is/was also a Remote Control F that was compatible with the DSLRs … I believe it's been discontinued.

I use similar to IR WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL for PENTAX K-M K-7 K110D MZ-6 K10D K20D K100D K200D | eBay… somewhat cheaper and the battery is replaceable When my original one failed (bought some 20 years ago with my *ist film camera) I just bought a new one

All Pentax DSLRs that have i/r remote capability use the same unit, so compatibility isn't an issue … I don't know how far back in history this compatibility goes, so couldn't guarantee an i/r remote initially released for a film camera would work with modern units.
