Abstract
To provide an input apparatus, a control apparatus, a control system, and a control method that are capable of improving an operational feeling when a user uses the input apparatus to input an operation signal via an operation section. An MPU () of an input apparatus () stops generating or transmitting a movement command corresponding to a displacement amount of a pointer on a screen, during a predetermined timer-operating time period since a cancel of an input of an operation signal (Step) made by a user using an operation button. Alternatively, it is also possible for the MPU () to continue outputting the movement command with the displacement amount of the pointer on the screen set to 0 during the predetermined time period (Step). By such processing, a movement of the pointer on the screen is regulated even when a casing of the input apparatus is moved when the user presses and releases the operation button and the movement is detected by a sensor unit.
