As pc gamer (and new Deck owner) i've started to check any good game deal, mostly x games on Steam but not only. I've soon realize that there are great site like Humble to use to buy keys for cheap, but also "shady" sites with very low price who apparently sell non working keys or try to scam you. Did we have a list of the "Safest" site where buy games???

You're conflating grey market key re-sellers (G2A, Kinguin, CDKeys, etc.) with actual legitimate key sellers (GreenManGaming, Fanatical, GamesPlanet, etc.).

Just because the names of what they do sound alike doesn't mean they are alike. As has been pointed out in other comments, either use isthereanydeal.com or gg.deals with the "Keyshops: Disabled" option, and any shop listed will be fine.
