No, if you look, the Apple extension is keyed such that any normal USB plug will not fit without severe deformation. (The plug on the keyboard has a notch on one side that allows it to fit the Apple extension. Why Apple doesn't want you to use the extension for anything else, I don't know, but that's how it is.)
