1 and 3 and then add in 2 on the "inner" side of the cluster of black keys, depending on the hand.  So thumb on white, 3 on black.  2 would be on C and F for RH;  B and E for LH.

Start on C:
(1) 3 1 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2(C) 3 1....
I play it like that when it supposed to go really fast

The best fingering I ever cam across, and several were offered to me, is as follows: simply alternate between groups of 3 and 4. So, a two-octave chromatic scale beginning on C, in the right hand, would be: UP 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4
