1. Its called a charging cabke because its a CHARGING cable. As in "charge, but nondata transfer". If it was a fully-fleged USB cable, it wouldnt need the special title "charging".
2. AFAIK the wireless XBox 360 gamepad doesnt even transfer data over USB, it only uses it for charging anyway so a non-neutered cable wont work either.

the port on the xbox 360 wireless controller is exclusively for charging. you can not even solder anything to make that work, the complete thing for it is missing on the board.

you need the wireless adapter for the 360.
