My K5 (ex Mark Cassino) is just great & hasn't given any problems. I'm sure Rick Womer feels the same. No buttons have fallen off & the AF is excellent. However, I believe there were some dicey K5's sold at the end of the Hoya era.

The K5II is what the K5 should have been, had there been adults in the room. It seems to have solved all of the niggly K5 problems that were not resolved during production, such as buttons falling off and the AF being as reliable as a 10 year old Skoda.
It is a big jump from the K10, enjoy it.

It's been a long time since I bought anything photographic but I recently found a used K5ii at a reasonable price, and it arrived today.  This is a big upgrade from my K10D.

I went outside and took a couple of photos just after my daughter went to bed but the light was getting a bit low.  No problem, I can crank up the ISO :)

This was taken with the FA*200mm f/2.8 at 6400ISO, 1/125 at f/5.0 handheld, very much reliant on shake reduction.

I'll check whether it's on the latest firmware soon.  To their credit, Ricoh's website made the manual and firmware very easy to find.

Cheers,
Dave
