No, the game controller is preventing my monitor from going to sleep, 
even when the controller isn't being used!

I'd say that it's not functioning how it should :/

The controller is in some sense being used as long as it's plugged in.

Right. The *controller* should be built to not as Windows to do that. It 
isn't Windows doing something wrong, it's the controller.

If the controller is powered by the USB and says "don't remove power", 
then yes, Windows isn't going to power down.
