A suitable KVM Switch for my Mac mini and an old PC

Hello,
I am looking for a KVM Switch that enables me in sharing my USB Apple keyboard, my Logitech USB mouse, Sony Multiscan CRT monitor and audio, as well, between my Mac mini and my daughter's old PC which has two USB 1.1 ports and PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse. So, I had a look on the Web and found the "iogear Mini View USB KVM Switch (GCS634U)" that seems to be the right one for me. It requires computers with an USB connection and VGA connection, and so they have. But it requires no external power and I don't know if it is reliable taking the power throug the USB connection. in addition, the USB ports on my Mac mini are 2.0 ones while the PC ones are 1.1. However I think that this Swich should work in my case, but I'm not sure, so, I'll be grateful to you if you give me some advice about that.
Best Regards
