Shutter Cable Release for K-5?

Hi,
I'm about to purchase a K5iis and am wondering if there is cable release available.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

There's some info on release cables here: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-k-5/124747-cable-release-cs-205-k-5-a.html

You can also use the remote control F, which lets you shoot instantly or with mirror lock up. The K-5 has an IR sensor on both the front and the back.
