Wired or wireless? Standard Pentax wireless remote works AFAIK.
Pentax choices would be O-RC1 (wireless) or CS-205 (wired). Plenty of 3rd party equivalents.

Remotes normally need a line of sight with the little sensor on the body, but other options for which this doesn’t apply are:
Image sync to phone/tablet by Bluetooth. This will also let you operate exposure settings and select a focus point.
Radio connection. I don’t know the options for Pentax but you can use two Cactus transceivers, one on the camera with a cable connection to the shutter, and the other acts as the remote button. This will work over a greater distance than the optical remotes.

I've been using the same wireless remote since my K10D. My phone works too (Huawei phones come with a remote app that works fine). I have an expensive Pentax wired remote in a box somewhere which hasn't resurfaced yet after my house move, and a cheapo one I bought for my Ricoh XR-Xs which also works just fine.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I have a Pentax wired remote for when the camera is on a tripod next to me but when I need a wireless remote I use Image Sync on my phone, it gives you full control over the phone without the expense of buying a separate remote.
