Perfect. I think what you’re after is a dual monitor kvm switch, something like the link should do. There’s different options depending on the video outputs you have, but essentially all do the same job.

Under $150 might be hard. You didn’t specify connection type but this is dual dvi and just about your price range.
There are some Belkin ones that good as well, however they will be pricier. Also most KVM boxes these day require you to get your own cables.

Multiple monitor KVM switches with digital display inputs certainly exist, but you may need to find one which has the right inputs/outputs depending on what outputs the laptop (or dock) has.
For a KVM with digital inputs/outputs, image quality will not be degraded, but make sure to check the specifications for any limitations on use.
Another potentially slightly cheaper option than a KVM would be to use the extra video inputs on the monitors. For example if your monitors have DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, you can hook up your computer with DP, and her laptop with HDMI, and switch video with the monitor video select buttons. You can then put the peripherals (keyboard, mouse, audio with a USB interface) on a single usb hub, and move that one cable over.
If you want more help please list what exactly the laptop is (so we know the outputs and dock options), and what GTX 1080 (to know what video outputs it has), and your monitors (to know what inputs they have).

You want a dual monitor KVM switch with either HDMI or DVI ports as you probably wont find one with both and these ports share the same video signal and can be adapted without circuitry involved.
These look pricey.
EDIT:
Considering the price, you’ll probably just want two single switches.
Also adapters:

Sounds like your looking for a KVM switch. Heres one from amazon they have a few options for display inputs for this one and it will support dual monitors.
