I have that, but it was more like $2. Look on ebay and aliexpress for Chinese sellers. In fact, I had bought a wored remote and they were so cheap that I got this as a no brainer.
On the 60D, the only button that does anything is the shutter. You can't pre-focus either, like you can even with a wired remote by holding the button half way. I looked into it and that's Canon's communication protocol: none of these genuine or aftermarket versions can do that.
It can be handy for including yourself in the shot, if you focus first and then take it off autofocus. Pressing the trigger can be handier than setting the timer. For use as "don't touch the camera" to make for a more stable shot, I don't like it because of the lack of half-press, and I don't use it.
