Major keys are almost entirely natural, down, flat or upflat. The one exception is F^ major, needed because Gb major would use Cb. Likewise, minor keys are mostly natural, up, sharp or downsharp. Exceptions: Ev minor for D# minor, and Bv minor for A# minor, to avoid E#. | Major keys are almost entirely natural, down, flat or upflat.
