Interchangeability of remote switches

I have a Pentax X5. The remote control has packed up and the only ones available now seem to be for the K Series.
Are they interchangeable?

Yep, the Pentax infrared remotes are interchangeable between the different Pentax cameras.

Is the OP asking about Infrared remotes or the wired remotes?

The X-5 uses only the infrared wireless remote.

Which also means you can also get the cheap third party remotes on ebay.
