Any 3rd party-compatible wired controllers for the K3iii?

I use my shutterboss without batteries in it to fire the shutter.

The Pixel Pro TW-283 that the OP asked about requires batteries because it is a wireless remote.

The Mk III has to be set up correctly to allow the remote to focus then release the shutter with a completed circuit.

If using the shutter button for focusing, then a 3-wire remote (almost all of them are). Like the shutter button, a half-push activates the auto-focus and the full push completes the shutter circuit. At least this is almost every other camera regardless of brand.

Check out this thread. It seems the K-3 iii is picky about the remotes that work with it.

This thread is full of third party remotes that people own and use with it.

That's why I asked the OP where this has been claimed.

There's a lot of bad information on the Internet, us Pentaxians don't have a need for more of it.
