Kit Wireless

Why does the Xbox 360 Wireless play and charge kit install a driver if all it does is use power?

All right so last time I tried to install my 360 wireless controller the device was not resolved (or something like that) but today I plugged it into my laptop to charge my controller and and it installed the driver:
"Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play & Charge Kit"
Why would it even see a device if all that goes through the controller's usb input is power?

That is because the controller actually does transfer data, but not the way that one would expect.

The wireless controllers only work wirelessly, as wired/wireless comm would take a much more complicated circuit to work properly. Even so, the wireless controller does detect when the play and charge kit is connected and sends out a signal to the 360/PC connected to it. All the controller uses this for is to tell the device that the controller is there, and does not use it for gaming communication. It also works backwards for small data transfers, allowing the 360 to send a signal to the controller when powered on to shut the controller off. I think the 360 also has the ability to turn the controller off by the wire.

If there was no data stream, the computer would not even recognize a device was on the wire, it would just send power to it. That way, you wouldn't even see the 'unknown device' message.
