So assuming C is "12 o'Clock", our circle of fifths looks like this:
{|
|-
|
{|
| || F || C || G ||
|-
| B{{fb}} || || || || D
|-
| E{{fb}} || || || || A
|-
| A{{fb}} || || || || E
|-
| || D{{fb}} || G{{fb}} || B || |}|[[File:P5_CW_Circle_of_5ths.png]]
|}
Moving only clockwise and using strict naming for each P5, we require to start using sharps once we hit 6 o'clock. Notice that the sharp keys are enharmonic to the flat keys above. Here's the same visualization using sharp keys instead of flats:
{|

| || E{{s}} || C || G ||

|-
| B{{f}} || || F || C || EA{{f}}{{fdb}}||

| AE{{fb}} || || || || FB{{fdb}}
|-
| A{{b}} || || || || F{{b}}|-| || D{{fb}} || G{{fb}} || C{{fb}} || |}|[[File:P4_CCW_Circle_of_5ths.png]]
|}
If we kept going, 12 o'clock would be D{{f}}{{fdb}}, and again, we'd be venturing into double and triple flats and beyond.
And if 12 o'clock is the root, the interval between root and each note is as follows:
:{|| || {{P4| P4 }} || {{U |R}} || {{P5| P5 }} ||
|-
| {{Mn7| m7 }} || || || || {{M2| M2}}
|-
| {{Mn3| m3 }} || || || || {{M6| M6}}
|-
| {{Mn6| m6 }} || || || || {{M3| M3}}
|-
| || {{Mn2| m2 }} || {{tt |tt}} || {{M7| M7 }} ||
|}
Notice the 2 intervals of equal distance from the root are inversions of each other ({{P4 |P4}} - {{P5|P5}}, {{Mn7|m7 }} - {{M2|M2}}, {{Mn3|m3 }} - {{M6|M6}}, {{Mn6|m6 }} - {{M3|M3}}, {{Mn2|m2 }} - {{M7|M7}}).

Notice the 4ths and 7ths - this is where the notes flatted/sharped when shifting keys up/down a fifth (or down/up a fourth).
