One glow-in-the-dark pen later…
Here's fob #2. Not perfect, but good enough for me.
For lack of anything better, I used this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09V3GBS98. The tip is rather thick, so I just pushed out the phosphorescent ink and let it sink into the grooves/depressions. I then wiped away (most of) the extra using some bath tissue and wet q-tips, and used a hair dryer to set it. It's not perfect, but it seems to work. There's still a small amount of residue on the key rubber itself (visible as a whiteish discoloration in daylight) but I think it will wear away with use.
A better result might be had by pooling the ink in a small reservoir and then applying it with a dipped toothpick. I had no toothpicks handy, though.
