I had that happen a couple of years ago. Korg USA had to order one and it took about two months for them to get and ship it to the local warranty repair shop.
I have now fashioned foam rubber to protect the joystick when it is being transported in the bag.
There are other options if it is not under warranty. You might search this forum for joystick and you will find them.

It is always important, whether hard case, soft case or semi-hard, to make sure that your keyboard cannot move AT ALL inside the case.

Many cases do not have sufficient foam pressing on the top of the keyboard to prevent the keyboard flopping around inside the case. This can have dire consequences for bend levers, joysticks, or anything else like sliders that could potentially contact the lid if the case is upside down.

You cannot trust other people to always keep it the right way up, even if you label it (and few do), so the only thing to do is make sure it cannot move AT ALL...

Pick a couple of spots on the keyboard that don't have sliders or knobs sticking up at both ends of the case. Now find some stiff foam (don't get the kind that is really soft, or it won't help) and (after measuring it or trying it for fit) glue it to the lid so that it presses fairly hard onto the keyboard. Stand the case up so it is vertical, on it's back (jacks on the floor). Now rock the case back and forth gently, and see if you feel any motion inside the case. If it is completely immobile, you are good to go.

Take the time to do this, and you should not have a problem...
