Back in the dim days of FS9 or FSX I had Track IR. (still have the hardware). I am aware there are as many opinions as (um individuals) but want some honest user reports from MSFS 2024 and maybe DCS as I have downloaded that if not used it yet.
 
I've been very happy with my Tobii Eye Tracker 5 for quite some time now. Takes a bit of setting up (like anything these days), but once you do it's fantastic. The fact that you don't have to wear anything on your head is a big plus. However, it's still not fully implemented in MSFS2024, but there is a temporary work around that I had posted about in this forum.

Side note: Using the Tobii in MSFS2024 on my LG 42" Flex 4K OLED gives an amazing perception of a 3D experience, without it actually being 3D. Way more so than I ever had in MSFS2020. I believe it has a lot to do with the overall increased graphical detail of MSFS2024 over MSFS2020.

Does this cause any difficulty with mousing controls or setting up a CDU for instance in a 737 or 747?

You can turn off/on the eye/head tracking as desired. I've set up the keyboard "End" key to do that. Then you can just use your hat switch to pan around as necessary.
