Dropped my K-30, lost the Raw/Fx button, What can i do?

Hello fellas, as i said in the title i dropped the camera, it looked ok in the dark, only the next morning i realized i had lost a button. are there any options for purchasing the button online? the only thing i got on ebay was somebody who was selling the whole lot of ks2 buttons, and I have no idea if they are compatible by size. can anyone help me find a replacement button? or at least can anyone ho has both these cameras compare the size of the buttons for compatibility?
your help is deeply appreciated!

Ricoh's policy is to not sell parts to end-users. Unless you can find an authorized repair shop that is willing to order the parts for you your best bet is eBay.

I have no idea if the parts are interchangeable with the K-S2.

Parts availability varies by region. In the US there are no retail parts, elsewhere you may get lucky. You could always send the camera in to a repair facility if you're willing to pay what they charge to fix it (or just get a new one and sell the existing camera as is).

Try googling Pentax camera parts EBay; there's several sites that come up. You might find it there.
