Anyone else tried a wired remote trigger?

I've used the same homemade wired 3-button remote trigger for years, starting back with my *st D thru my K7, and it's always worked flawlessly. With my new K1, the focus button works fine, but the trigger will not release the shutter. I know the contact in the remote itself is working, because the rear screen on the K1 goes blank while it is depressed. Anyone?

My homemade remote did the same when I moved from the k10d to k3. If I remember right (I can't test for you right now), hold the focus button when you depress the shutter button.

Here's what I noted about a year ago... "I have found the the focus button has to be depressed for the shutter release to trigger, unless I set 15. AF.S Setting to 2 Release-priority. Which is my work around.
