It takes about a day to get used to it but soon you'll be turning your head in games that don't support it.
and also while watching youtube videos Yeah I've totally never done that watching an A-10 video...okay I do it every time. To the guy asked about TrackIR yeah man it is totally worth it. wish they'd add support for in Train Simulator

It is most certainly a must have.
Ahh CLOD never in the history of Simming has so much been promised and so little given.
However I want to thank Team Fusion for keeping the Dream Alive.

It's like asking if having a monitor is worth it.

A small tip: Recently I added a small clear "lens" shape cabinet door bumper to the lowest projection of the TrackIR Pro Clip. This causes the IR LED to be see at greater angles than normal. Up until that modification I had trouble looking down and to the left as the recessed IR LED would stop being seen by the TrackIR camera. The clear plastic adhesive extension applied on top of the IR scatters the light through a wider arc and now I can look down-left with confidence.

Totally worth it. I've shut down DCS despite the long loading time (with my old rig) and restarted it just because sometimes I forgot to turn it on... Can't ever play without any more. For me though the time necessary to be proficient with it was a couple of weeks, but every onr knows I'm a thick italian...

OP also mentioned EECH; TrackIR works in 6DOF with EECH as well. One nice touch on the Ka-52 is if you're sitting in the CP/G seat, you lean forward to look into the periscope!  EDIT: another thing that's often overlooked is that once you have TrackIR, you can free up that hat switch for its original purpose: trim. This makes you a better flyer as well (force trimmed helos notwithstanding).

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.
