If you mean exporting REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES instead of REL_HWHEEL from
hid-a4tech.c, then it makes sense to me, though I do not know the code
well enough to be certain.

Błażej and I have discussed the bug and the patch here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203369

In summary: the patch fixes the bug for both our mice;
the documentation in input/event-codes.rst states that
REL_WHEEL, REL_HWHEEL "are legacy codes and REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and
REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES should be preferred where available."

After launching hid-recorder for my A4Tech WOP-49Z mouse under kernel
5.0.10 patched with Błażej's patch I:
* scrolled the vertical wheel down ("Wheel: -1");
* scrolled the vertical wheel up ("Wheel: 1");
* scrolled the horizontal wheel "left" ("Wheel: -1");
* scrolled the horizontal wheel "right" ("Wheel: 1").
Note that the horizontal wheel is physically scrolled just like the
vertical one in this mouse (forward/back), so "left" and "right" are the
effects these scrollings make in applications when the kernel supports
the mouse properly.
