Advice on getting an audio input switch to use on speakers?

Lmao No

I'm asking this for a friend.

This is the situation:

He has 2 powered speakers that he connects to his PC and to Alexa. He keeps switching the cables (they connect with 3.5mm jacks) whenever he needs to, but he wishes he could have both the PC and Alexa connected to the speakers via a switch, so that he can push a button to go from one to the other without unplugging and replugging the cables.

Any advice on what he should buy? Preferibly cheap?
