The image is missing.
Im guessing that you are speaking of the vector joystick?

Get a replacement unless you are happy living with OOTB broken and then fixed product for the money you have spent. |

This brings to mind a bit of a different question about the joystick. Is it supposed to be floppy. Basically stays were you but it?. Or is it supposed to spring back to the center??

Traditionally, vector joysticks are not sprung.
A sprung vector joystick for actual vector use would be about as useful as a cutoff knob that returns to centre.

A question! 
Is the top of the vector joystick turnable?
I mean can you turn it or is it fixed on the stick?
My is loss, shall I fix it with some glue (one second glue maybe?)
greetings,

Mine doesn't turn - the metal cap is firmly attached.

There is no need to turn the vector joystick so it shouldn't turn. The vector stick on Kronos is quite similar to the stick on the Wavestation.
Ahimsa,

I would get a replacement while you still can. What could cause the handle to come off? Not affixed properly at the factory, shock during transport and handling, etc.--none of which would inspire confidence in that particular unit. |

for gods sake its held on by GLUE
the chances of someone putting not enough adhesive to it is very likely! just snap it back on with a little but of glue!!!!!!!!!
