In general, you can use keyboard keys if your emulator buttons are not working correctly :

Emulated Device ---> Key Keyboard Key

Home ---> HOME

Menu (left softkey) ---> F2 or Page-up button

Star (right softkey) ---> Shift-F2 or Page Down

Back ---> ESC

Please check Keyboard Commands

If you want to modify device hardware buttons than

go to

tools --> android --> android device monitor ---> windows ---> android virtual device manager ---> device defination(tab) ---> change setting in buttons
