This event code represents scroll reports from high-resolution wheels and is modelled after the approach Windows uses. The value 120 is one detent (wheel click) of movement. Mice with higher-resolution scrolling can send fractions of 120 which must be accumulated in userspace. Userspace can either wait for a full 120 to accumulate or scroll by fractions of one logical scroll movement as the events come in. 120 was picked as magic number because it has a high number of integer fractions that can be used by high-resolution wheels. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/hardware/design/dn613912(v=vs.85) These new axes obsolete REL_WHEEL and REL_HWHEEL. The legacy axes are emulated by the kernel but the most accurate (and most granular) data is available through the new axes.
