Abstract
An input apparatus, a control apparatus, and the like with which an image displayed on a screen can be prevented from being moved unintentionally in a case where a user operates an operation section provided to the input apparatus are provided. An MPU stores a displacement corresponding amount (velocity value) in a memory. When a switch of a button is turned on, the switch starts generating an operation signal and outputs the operation signal to the MPU. When the input of the operation signal from the switch is started, the MPU reads out the displacement corresponding amount stored in the memory, calculates a first correction displacement amount, and outputs it. Since the first correction displacement amount can be used to correct coordinate values of a pointer obtained before the switch is turned on after a start of a press of the button by the user, the pointer can be prevented from being moved unintentionally.
